Browsing the Short Stories category...

Well, I have gone through the editor’s first edit of “Gemini,” and I’m in a bit of limbo right now. I’m letting it rest and letting the changes simmer before I go back and go through it one more time. I’ll send it back to her tomorrow, I think, so she can get to work on the third go-round.

So another step on the road to getting “Gemini” in everyone’s hands is underway!

In other writing news, once the editor has the novel again, I’m going to go back and polish a new story called “Widow’s Walk.” The bits and pieces of this one have been floating around for a while, so it’s good to finally have a lot of stuff that’s been bothering the muse down in a story at last.

The “Coffee Table Books” section of my website has been updated! The stories are now in chronological order, for reading ease, with the standalone stories at the bottom. The stories have appeared on my Livejournal and at the Academy of the Bards, but you might find something you missed! Go take a look (and remember to feedback :D)!

It’s kind of a backwards way to go about it, but I have had a novel published, and a short story has been accepted by a magazine. The best part is that the magazine offers free ad-space in their magazine, so I can use that to promote my novel. The story is called “Vital Signs,” and I’m kind of keeping it under wraps what it’s about. Just trying to keep a bit of mystery in the world. That and I play it close to the vest for the first few paragraphs of the story. ;-D

My new year’s resolution was to post twice a month in this blog, but I’m very close to missing that goal. Alas! But I will strive to have a new post by the 29th, and then March I will try – TRY – for three or four. Just to make up for it. You people take the time to read and follow the blog, you should get your time’s worth!

In other news, I’m working on a large-ish Squire’s Isle story featuring Patricia and Jill (who people seem to like :D). It won’t be posted until August (for story-reasons), but I’m brainstorming. I shall keep you apprised. 😀

Other writing projects… I have a story for Radclyffe’s Author’s Challenge which I’m revising as we type. And I’m also going to be better about posting new short stories on my website. No reason for it to sit there unupdated! Un… not updated? Eh, you know what I mean. 😀

That’s it for today! Wish me luck for reaching my goal by the end of the month! 😀
